The Calgary Flames and Carolina Hurricanes aren't exactly historical rivals, but Tuesday's showdown in Calgary will have extra excitement because of all the familiar faces.

Calgary, which is on a two-game winning streak, a 7-0-1 run and atop the Western Conference, features a few former Hurricanes.

Not only do the Flames boast forward Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin, who were acquired from the Hurricanes in last summer's big trade, but forward Derek Ryan joined the team via free agency and head coach Bill Peters spent the previous four years guiding the Hurricanes.
